been in a barrel bodyboarding a few times over the years, still waiting for my 1st surfing barrel, aint had many chances to get it though. Totally dying for it to happen and would be great if i get it soon. I even know which spot i want to get it at... http://www.surfguru.co.uk/beaches/reef/Barvas/766.aspx

I've only done barrel just one time, and it felt like forever when I was in there... Even though it was ~1sec

barrel= planets best time warping tool!!!!

The only other way I have seen time slow so much......was when I was in a bad car wreck.
I take a barrel any day.

It's just a jump to the right! Lets do the time warp again!

After like 3 months, by pure luck I got a barrel and broke through. Haven't made it out through the window yet, but I haven't had many opportunities so far, unless complete utter closeouts count.
